I'm a human pin cushion

[Lilmiss]

Went to see a nurse today, who booked me instantly into to see the Dr.
They think I have appendicitis, and sent me off for more blood and urine tests.

I've been put on a liquid diet too. :(



Grrrr....I just wanna curl up and die. :crying:

why...what's wrong with you?

[Lilmiss]

Appendicitis apparently. :ermm:
Shall find out more tomorrow afternoon when I go back to the Dr's.


D'ya think Vodka should be included in a liquid diet? :whistling

Have you scanned that hospital for Vampire paraphernilia?

If they cut you make sure they do it nicely

good luck

[manker]

Sounds a bit nasty, missy. Hope things go okay tomorrow.

[Snee]

Plz 2 get well soon. Maybe they'll remove your appendix soon, if that is indeed the culprit.

As soon as it's gone and they've hooked you up with antibiotics you should be feeling much better in no time. :)

Also, scars are cool, and you get free time to come here n' talk with me, while you recover. :D :score:

[manker]

Isn't an appendix scar in an almost rude place.


Just wondering :shifty:

[Snee]

That's why she should post some pics asap.

She doesn't need to remove it, she can post pics and we can all try and imagine the scar.

[DanB]

When my friend had appendicitis he had a 2 doctors and 3 trainee doctors put their finger up his arse so they could feel it swollen up :lol: :lol:


edit - all though thats prolly not what you wanted to hear. I hope you're okay though

I thought your appendix were at the front.?Is your mate sure they were doctors. :shifty: :lol: :lol:

/Edit nearly forgot get well soon lilmiss. :D

[Damn's_bbygirl]

I hear they can do it through your belly button now! Then you wont have a scar...but scars are cool anyway. Especially the ones with awesome stories behind 'em

Get Well!

[Guillaume]

That is what they do for prostate problems, not appendicitis.Unless they are really horny. :shifty:


Once again, get well soon, teh miss, we wouldn't trust anybody else with teh pokey stick around here. :01:

[Snee]

Nope, they can do that pokey thing with appendicitis too, so let's pray it never happens to us.

And the bellybutton thing requires it to be in relativly good shape to take it out, if it's really inflamed or burst or something you get the scar.

If it's progressed a bit they can only look at it through the bellybutton, can't risk bursting it by taking it out that way, I think.

[Biggles]

Good Luck Little Missy.

If it involves scars hope you can use it in your next tattoo.

Don't think Vodka is on though - then I would say that. :shifty:

Not questionning what your friend said. Qusetionning the doctors' motives. they can be weird (with a capital WE) sometimes... Ether fumes and all. :dry:

[Lilmiss]

:eeek: Tanks Dan. :ermm:

I'm positive thats not how they check for it, maybe they were policemen dressed as doctors. :shifty:



Tanks peeps, I think it may just be my beergut expanding.

[j2k4]

Wow-what clued you that something was amiss, Lilmiss?

(That was not an attempt to be "punnish") ;)

[Lilmiss]

The lower part of my tum has been aching and cramping alot, I feel sick but I'm not, I've have diarrhea and seem to passing alot of piddle. I feel like I'm burning up when I'm cold to touch too.

All in all, feeling pretty shitty.

Doesn't sound like appendicitis. If that were suspected you would have either been taken straight to the operating room or given a CT scan if your symptoms were not classic. You would never be sent home.

If you would even consider drinking alcohol, you don't have it. With appendicitis the body develops a strong aversion to food or drink of any kind. The bowel stops contracting and it would unlikely that you would get diarrhea, more likely vomiting.

Sounds to me like run of the mill inflammation of the intestines. Not pleasant, but not something you need to get an operation for.

BTW, fingers up the bum are not a way to diagnose this condition. You might do this in a male to look for inflammation of the prostate. The appendix is far from the anus.

[tesco]

get lilmiss to the hospital! http://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/stretcher.gif


sorry I just felt like posting that smiley

[ruthie]

Been checked for urinary tract infection? Appendicistis..you'd have a temp, I think. Hobbes is quite right. If they suspected that, you'd have been checked in to the hospital,,they wouldn't want to chance a burst appendix.
Hope you feel better lilmiss..sounds like a real drag.

[Snee]

Oh ffs, it's a way to make sure it isn't something else, sometimes they have to check if it isn't something else, and one way to do it is to stick their fingers up someone's bum.

I haven't had the "pleasure" myself, for which I'm very thankful, but I know several people who have been subjected to the treatment and who were later diagnosed with appendicitis.

A link (http://www.aurorahealthcare.org/yourhealth/healthgate/getcontent.asp?URLhealthgate=%2212040.html%22), please to note what the exam will entail.

They won't have to do it if they are absolutely certain, but it's a fairly common practice when they are not.


And her symptoms were prolly too vague to keep her there on the off-chance that it was appendicitis, and she was due to go back for more tests, it doesn't mean that it absolutely can't be what affects her, tho' her last description makes me guess it's something else.

[Lilmiss]

The good news is they didn't stick their fingers up me bum.
Oh no, they went elsewhere. :pinch:

My urine test came back negative, but my blood is showing some kind of infection. The swab results are due back in a week, but if I get any shooting pains, I've been told to go hospital. They don't think it is appendicitis, but just in case.

They have given me 2 courses of anti-biotics to take, one 3 times a day and the other twice.




Now....how do I change the title of this thread to, "I'm a pill popper." :shifty:

[Snee]

Pm a mod? :unsure:

Glad you got something for it, and hey, be glad it isn't cancer.

[Lilmiss]

:lol: They don't know what it is yet, but I'm allowed to eat again. :01:

No vodka and anti-biotics Lilmiss :nono:

Why, thank you for that bit of information. And I don't mean about the poker game :pinch:

Hungry btw? If I was you I'd be eating like there was no tomorrow the second they let me eat again.

Glad you're on teh road to recovery. They say you're not supposed to drink while taking anti-biotics but I think they're just trying to be mean spirited.

[Gemby!]

They think I have appendicitis

Kool, i had that - it sucked but i got a kool scar now :01:

[Skweeky1]

I had some beer the other day, and I'm on antibiotics as well.

Turned out to be a bad idea. I had the most horrible nightmares all night :S

[Lilmiss]

No I am not going there

:w00t: :P

Yeah, I know not to mix Vodka and Anti-Biotics, but a lil speed wouldn't hurt, huh? :lol: :shifty:



Sorry to hear about you Pa Peerzy, thats awful.
/me sends you some huggles, n thoughts.

My God Daughter and pal are both suffering from carbon monoxide poisioning.
Not been a good week at all, really.

[Snee]

Maybe he meant you got pokered already, and that's why...



Wait, you were replying to manker there, and not to biggles's post and that's why... and the :w00t: was for the the, oh yeah.. :blushing:

[Guillaume]

Glad to hear there won't be any cutting up to do... Never trust these surgeons, they're always wearing masks... :fear:

And, for your information, there are some words that are not to be pronounced around men-folk, cervix is one of them. :crying:

[Lilmiss]

Big red inflamed raw cervix. :shifty:


It was even worse after she prodded it.
Meep.



So, whats for dinner? :whistling

Fish sticks, I hate fish sticks. :dry:

Yeah, I know.

I just wanted to reassure her that she wasn't in for a big rectal exam the next day.

Why have her worry over something which I was pretty sure they would not do. Such an exam has little purpose in the female. If she has symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease, they would do the whole pelvic thing. Since they had stayed away from that on the initial visit, I was pretty sure she was ok there.

My post was intended strictly to give her a little peace of mind.

Ask The Expert - General Medicine

Does alcohol affect antibiotics?

Is it true that alcohol lowers the affect of antibiotics?

There is a generally held belief that alcohol should not be consumed while on a course of oral antibiotics. This advice is correct if a patient is taking metronidazole, cephamandole (may cause a disulfiram-like reaction), and possibly oral ketoconazole (may cause facial flushing). However there is no contraindication to the consumption of alcohol with other antibiotics.

However, the question one has to ask is, is the consumption of alcohol so important that a short period of abstinence is abhored?

The Health Network
March 04

Some antibiotics used to treat Tuberculosis and metronidazole (Flagyl) commonly used for urinary tract infections (<-----watch out, pretty common drug) cause severe nausea and vomiting when mixed with alcohol.

[Snee]

Yeah, I know.

That's very nice of you, however, I'm not sure that a prostate exam would be the only point to checking that area, as certain infections may produce similar symptoms while not being gender exclusive. It is my understanding that the doctor may need to look for lumps and similar in the colon, regardless of gender, in some cases of abdominal pain.


Antibiotics sometimes mix badly with dairy products, which is something that might be good to keep in mind.

[j2k4]

You are both fostering in our poor Lilmiss an inordinate fear of long-fingered people; what if she stumbles across a gifted pianist, or something?

[Snee]

Then I'd say "oopsy".

[DanB]

Tis cool, my friend's 19yr old brother is in a coma following a brain hemorage last friday night :(

Given her symptoms, I doubt jamming fingers in her ass would help.

A Doctor feeling "lumps" in the colon at her age is almost non-existent and would have zero correlation with her symptoms.

And, of course, I was being nice.

We don't need to let your buddies' worst case scenario frame in LilMissus' mind what she should expect.

I doubted that she had appendicitis and I doubted she would get a rectal rampage.

Just a little reasonable reassurance.

The things, hobbes, that that wasn't how you first phrased it. You said:


BTW, fingers up the bum are not a way to diagnose this condition. You might do this in a male to look for inflammation of the prostate. The appendix is far from the anus.

And I said you were wrong. Just like you said DanB was wrong.

And it isn't really an age thing either, they don't just check for lumps, they sometimes check for tenderness in cases of abdominal pain and similar, regardless of age or sex.

It's just how it goes, but I'm not saying she'll be subjected to it anyway, I reckon they would have done it to her already if they would.

Seeing as she's being treated for an infection, and seeing as how she's not already, to my knowledge anyway, hospitalized in anticipation of surgery, I think they've agreed they've pegged it with the current treatment. So I'm very much hoping that she'll not be subjected to any more unpleasantness.

[hobbes]

Sorry Snny, I forgot Danb had posted the rectal horror story.

I worded my post forcefully so that she would be convinced that I was correct. I did not want to come off wishy-washy.

Anyway, I knew there was no need to poke her bum and I was just letting her know. Though I doubt it could be any worse than a pelvic exam.

[Lilmiss]
